    Help! I need to assign more space to /usr

    Hello,

    My /usr keeps filling up. At the moment it is at 91%.

    I have tried deleting the log files, but it only brings it back to 81%~

    Is there any way to assign more space to a partitition in linux?
    Is it safe?

    Thank you!

    generally you cant easily grow filesystems (there are some exceptions), but you could try and work out whats taking up all the space and move it to a different bigger partition, and then symlink old to new..

    OK thank you.

    Does this mean I can make a symlink to my logs and domlogs folders??

    sure

    say for example you have 1gig space on /var (im guessing you meant /var and not /usr), and 50gig space on /home, you could make /home/logs, and then symlink /var/log to /home/logs so all your stuff would go in there
